Effusive DJ’s

Tommy B — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:45:01 +0000

Visualization loop created for a breakbeat night at iBar in Bournemouth. The loop aims to be barmy and nonsensical. Inspired by garish Chinese culture clashing, it features an old man dancing on the street in a liverpool shirt, traditional brush typography and a windup “pleasant goat” drumming in the background.

Filmed on a handy-cam, painted with a traditional calligraphy set and composed using After Effects.

Blob

Blob is an interactive TV concept. Blob provides personal customisable music television specific to each viewer. The user feeds their preferences into the system; in turn Blob will return music suited to individuals. The viewer can chose individual songs or allow the channel to intuitively pick music they may like based on previous choices. The user can then select whether they like or dislike the current song to further refine their personal channel. The aim is to move away from the generalisation of taste and culture. Instead Blob embraces the richness and diversity of individuals and allows the public to form their own opinion. The brand reflects the channels ethos. The use of simplistic, handmade and type and fluid logo are key to maintaining the appearance of individuality and evolution. The only solid part of the logo, is that it consists of two v-sign fingerprints in a white space, to symbolise freedom, defiance and individuality.

Concept, branding and indents, created using Flash and After Effects.
